Bus vandals ordered to pay

Two Blissfield teens who admitted punching holes in 22 school bus tires on Feb. 22 were assigned to come up with $9,313.86 to pay for the damage during their probation.

Robert Michael Hunt, 18, and Timothy Joseph Siefert, 17, were sentenced Sept. 26 in Lenawee County Circuit Court for felony malicious destruction of property charges they pleaded guilty to on June 26. Blissfield police identified the two as the people caught on a security camera cutting tires on the buses, a snowplow truck and a van at Blissfield schools.

Hunt and Siefert were given a chance to clear their records if they successfully complete three years’ probation under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, including payment of restitution. Judge Timothy P. Pickard also ordered them to pay $1,250 court costs each.
